Thank you: Thank you for your touching and amazingly generous Pastor Appreciation gifts. We feel sincerely loved and blessed to be a part of the Good Shepherd family. – Pastor G and Family.
Reformation Day Celebration: Join us in the parking lot of Good Shepherd on October 25th as we broadcast our Reformation Day worship service on the radio. We will be singing traditional hymns such as "A Mighty Fortress is Our God.” We will be using this service as an opportunity to not only reflect upon the importance of the Reformation but safely gather together as a congregation.
Confirmation Open House: This Wednesday from 5:15-6:15 pm we be holding the 6th Grade Open House in the sanctuary to discuss the format of Confirmation Class this year. If you are a parent of a 6th grader please plan on attending. Please contact Pastor Koepsell if you are unable to attend 763.913.8445.
Music Opportunities: The Chime Choir is looking very promising. We have 8 people already and are looking for 2-3 more players. We met last week Wednesday and decided which 2 pieces we will learn this month. All the music is highlighted and ready to be 'mastered'. Come join us. We are masked and socially distanced, so everyone can feel safe and comfortable. Meet Wednesday during Confirmation Class 5:15-6:15p.m. May God bless this beautiful music for His Glory. ---Cam Bedroske 920-379-2037
Attention College Students: When Choir resumes we offer scholarships for singing in the Good Shepherd Choir. Talk to Cam or Pastor Koepsell for more information.
Strategic Planning Meeting: October 24th at 9:30 am, at our next planning session, we will be examining our mission statement, drafting a vision statement, and developing some goals and objectives for future ministry. Although the discussion may go in a different direction, we are starting by exploring the three goals of evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship, which are elements of Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28. We will be breaking into three working groups to flesh these ideas out further and make recommendations that can be shared with the larger group. Please plan on joining us in person or via Zoom. Zoom information will be in the Monday email.
